The Austin Air Allergy Machine HEGA Filter integrates technology developed by the military, a military grade carbon cloth for removing odors and gases.

The Austin Air Allergy Machine HEGA Filter
combines this cloth with an outer filter called a Highly Efficient
Particulate Arresting (HEPA) filter that traps airborne particles,
including dirt, lint, and hair. This combination removes and absorbs the
smallest of airborne particles and chemical gas contaminants.

The Austin Air Allergy Machine HEGA Filter
integration design is called the High Efficiency Gas Absorption (HEGA)
filter. Harmful airborne particles are removed 99.97% of the time for
particles as small as 0.3 microns and 95% for minute particles down to
0.1 microns.
